I dont know if these have been brought up before or if iv seen them on another site, but what does everyone think of these? To be honest, not really my thing.

The first photo is reminiscent of the original Honda CRX. The second kit just looks far too tacked on and quite franky ridiculous. Even sprayed to match colour-wise it it still going to look damn ordinary. For a body kit to work in my eyes it has to be cohesive with the rest of the car, and look like it was meant to be a part of the car from day 1, not tacked on as an afterthought. Both of those kits look like they are blatant add-ons. Far too boy-racer for my liking.

I'd just be happy if I could get the front bar, grill and bonnet (not to mention the mivec engine, centre console with sat nav screen etc) from the Ralliart Galant. The rich blood red of the show car looks spectacular also (in photos anyway).

For those people that are wanting to get the SIII Front Bar-Lower Grill Insert to fit into the SII....dont bother, doesnt fit by a long shot. Mitsubishi ordered me one just to see (as they said it wouldnt be a problem AT ALL) and there is no it will fit without being glassed or buying the SIII Front Bar.

um the series 3 front bar is the exact same as the series 2 front bar. ive even pulled my front lower grille off and i can confirm this. did they get the brackets for the lower grill.


p.s. are you refering to a s2 sx. think that the s2 sx had different bar to the vrx.

Obviously not. I didnt get to see them do it, just took the car into the shed obviously had a 30 line up check. I went and asked them because I remembered that you had done this. Only costs $28 for the insert tho. Back up to see them again tomorrow!

We have the SII Platinum which to my understanding is the same as the SII VRX.

just looked at a s2 sx and it has the vrx front bar. but $28 is to cheap. others were qoated $300+ for it.

This is just for the lower insert only. I will be off tomorrow to get it fitted correctly if all it needs is the proper brackets.

yes others were qouted $300 plus for the lower grille insert. get them to show you the supposed grille. imo it doesnt sound right.

I'm LOVING the sideskirts, the front is pretty average.........

the bonnet scoops look interesting, more tasteful than an XA falcon scoop....
